I love my AR-10 308 rifle builds! They are my babies! I can spot them a mile away, but then again, it is my business and I love what I do.

Common twist rates of AR-15 barrels are: 1 and 7, 1 and 8, 1 and 9. So what's the most optimal? Answer is as always, depending on what bullet grain you prefer to shoot.

AR-15 barrels come in different lengths, materials, treatments, to name a few. Barrel rifling which measures the twist rate is another factor to consider when choosing a barrel for your AR-15 build. It...
